Autoupdate Failure

Post by SeeCwriter »

I've been programing a Nano module for weeks, and several times today, using Autoupdate (v2.4). But now I get error message "The Netburner failed to Shutdown" immediately after hitting the update button. I've had to resort to using the serial port. What does that mean?

You can add a functionpointer to the system where autoupdate asks your code for permission to update.

Say you were running a hazardous process and needed to safe it before reboot....

So unless you set the update_shutdown_function you should never get that message.

The nano supports autoupdate even wehn booted into the alternate monitor....

So if you did not set the shutdown_functiuon then its some sort of weird code crash....

1)Can you autoupdate from the nano monitor?

2)Does the problem follow the code image? IE Try loading something small and simple...
Do you get differnt results with differnt code images?

3)Is there another device on your network with the same IP or MAC?

I programmed the Nano via the serial port, and it runs fine. It's not dependent on a particular image. Since I reprogrammed via serial port there hasn't been any further issues, and I haven't been able to reproduce the problem. I will keep an eye on it.
